Cutaneous and Mucous Membrane Moniliasis

Abstract

One of the more common dermatoses, moniliasis often is misdiagnosed and improperly treated. Sites most often involved are the mouth, genital regions, paronychial tissue and intertriginous areas. The clinical picture varies with the location of the infection. Correction of environmental factors will aid in treating the commonly encountered forms. Selection of one of the several available effective remedies is determined by the location and extent of the eruption.
